    Helped a new muzzleloader get started yesterday

    Was out shooting my flintlock at the club's 5-Stand yesterday, when I was approached by another member asking if I knew anyplace that had percussion caps. He had apparently just finished building a traditions kit and while he had found powder (pyrodex) he was SOL finding caps. Ended up digging...

    Shot a few doves for the pup

    Took a break from deer hunting earlier in the month and popped a few doves for the 5 month old Boykin. Pups first birds and the first blood on the Pedersoli flintlock.

    Change to Oregon Muzzleloader Hunting Regs in 2019

    ODFW made a change to the muzzleloader regs for 2019. It removes the bullet length and jacketed bullet restrictions from the regs. Only thing prohibited now are sabots or any thing with plastic on it. Change is in bold/italics. If you have a fast twist rifle like a Gibbs the change makes it...

    Braggin' Time

    The stars aligned just right for me at Barlow Trail last week and I pulled not one, but two first place finishes on the trails. Squirrel rifle with my .32 percusion rifle and Men's Rifle with my .54 flintlock Mortimer. The rifle trail also included a single hawk throw (which I stuck) and a...

    Pedersoli Mortimer, getting there

    Bit the bullet and picked up a Pedersoli Mortimer flint rifle. First time out was Tuesday. Played around with the usual things, flints, patches etc. Got it home and made some rough sight adjustments in preparation for serious load work. Today wasn't the best day, gusty, rainy, etc., but it...

    Shot a good target today

    Shot the pistol aggregate at our Annual Shoot today. I was solidly mediocre on the slow fire flint and percussion, but redeemed myself on the 25 yard LTF. 94-1X with the LePage.

    Removing blood stains from raw wood

    Gory title says it all. Without going into detail, I managed to get some blood stains on a maple knife handle during assembly. The maple has some decent figure on it, so I want to get rid of the blood stains. Tried sanding but no joy. If I use bleach on the wood am I going to compromise the...

    Pedersoli Mortimer Flintlock Rifle Breech Question

    Yeah, I'm toying with the idea of getting one. For those of you that have or had one, how is the breech set up? I have a Pedersoli LePage flint pistol and it has a deeply coned removable vent on the lock side and a matching plug (same size as the vent, just no vent) on the opposite side. Can't...

    Another Closet Queen Comes Back

    Got contacted by another shooter who had inherited a kit built CVA Mt Rifle from his FIL. Came with all the fixings, but hadn't been out in a very long time. The price tag on the Pyrodex can in the kit was $7.89. The guy knew nothing of Muzzleloaders so we had to go thru the kit and explain what...

    50 - 4X yesterday

    Gonna brag a bit, because I don't get to do that very much. Shot a 50 -4X on one of our 25 yd offhand relays yesterday with my flintlock no less. About as close as I've ever come to getting a "possible". Yes, I kept the target.

    Starting a New Hobby at 90

    Had an older gentleman show up at our monthly shoot. He wanted to get into muzzleloading and had put together a flintlock kit (From Cabin Creek I think). He wanted to ask about supplies, etc.. and intended to start shooting with us in January. The guy is 90. Hope I'm still trying new things at...

    Eurasian Collared Doves

    This year, our F&W department officially designated the Eurasian Collared Dove as an unprotected species (used to be part of the mourning dove bag limit). Puts it in the same classification as starlings. Basically, no rules, limits, seasons etc.. Had some time to kill, so took the squirrel...

    Met another forum member

    Went to the Prineville Rondy this weekend and got to shoot with Apprentice Builder. It was a fun time. Got to see a couple of his rifles,too. Fine work, well balanced good looking pieces, but the locks are on the wrong side. Really liked camping there in the junipers. Fun shoot that's going...

    Portable Flintlock Screen ideas

    Our BP range requires a screen between shooting stations when firing a flintlock. Wasn't a problem in the past as the provided target stands also worked fine as screens. Unfortunately, the powers that be decided to change to a different target stand that doesn't work to screen for offhand...
